Set margins / make box for the section title with titlesec












0















I would like to set right and left margins for the section titles, so that they are a little less wide than the width of the text, and that in turn they remain centered. Basically, I want the width of the sections to be less than the width of the text (in fact, the text I'm working with has titles of 4 or 5 lines). I tried some possibilities with parbox, but I did not succeed.



by default the section is adjusted to the width of the text



documentclass[12pt,twoside,openright]{memoir}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}



title{Ejemplo}
author{julietamass}



usepackage[paperwidth=130mm, paperheight=200mm,top=1.5cm,bottom=2cm,left=2cm,right=1.5cm]{geometry}
usepackage{titlesec}



titleformat*{section}{filcenter}



%-----------------------------
begin{document}



maketitle



section*{The Title. Here is a really long title, yes, this title is quite long, it could be a bit summarized}
